Do you know any persons who have scored or would score high on IQ tests who are ungraceful and awkward in social situations? Have you seen such persons unable to take advantage of their abstract thinking ability to avoid awkwardness in social situations? (Example: Failing to realize what they said implied about someone present.) Have you seen such persons persist in making logical arguments concerning a certain point, long after it should be obvious that the audience has ceased to care? Have you sat by and watched someone on your team do that in an important meeting?

I've scored decently high on IQ tests and have been plenty stupid nonetheless.

I love Stephenson more than the next guy, but the subtleties of intelligence you're inferring aren't at all hinted at by the graphic. Well rounded people can handle ambiguity, but intentional ambiguity in communication needs to be less vague to be effective.
